Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3733236A1] Provided are a catheter having excellent slidability that prevents a shaft from flattening after pressurization and a method for producing the catheter. A catheter (1) having a distal side and a proximal side includes:a shaft (2) having an outer tubular member (4), andan insertion member (3) wherein at least a part of the insertion member (3) in an axial direction thereof is disposed in the outer tubular member (4),at least one of the outer tubular member (4) or the insertion member (3) is a multilayer tube having a first layer (31) and a second layer (32) laminated with the first layer (31),in a cross-section perpendicular to an axial direction of the multilayer tube, a cross-sectional area ratio of the second layer (32) to the first layer (31) is 0.7 or less,at least one material included in the second layer (32) has a higher crystallinity degree than that of at least one material included in the first layer (31),at least one material included in the second layer (32) has a lower melting point than that of at least one material included in the first layer (31), andin the cross-section perpendicular to the axial direction of the multilayer tube, an initial roundness calculated by the following equation is 92% or more.initialroundness%=aminoraxisouterdiameterofthemultilayertube/amajoraxisouterdiameterofthemultilayertube×100
